All those ROSES... what feast for the senses!! Was there a lot of scent?? Just love the pink rose from your garden. I adore roses, but we've had variable success with them. This spring we planted to The Fairy rose plants and we'll see how we get on with those... Happy Days ((HUGS))

You're blessed to live in an area where roses grow so well and are celebrated in such a spectacular way. The public gardens are really beautiful in June. Roses in our own gardens are special. It was our anniversary yesterday and so I always associate the flower with a June wedding and that happy occasion.

We've been away for a short time again and we missed the Rose Festival. I'm sure you can tell that I'm catching up again from all of the comments I'm leaving on your Southwest posts today! I love the Rose Gardens in Portland - especially this time of year. What a great place to meet for tea. We will have to head up that way soon and enjoy part of the beauty in our own 'backyard'!~Adrienne~

Hello Marilyn, I saw your blog on Jeanie's blog. I thought I'd comment on this post, as I love roses. This rose festival is wonderful. There is a rose garden in my town, and I often take pictures of roses there. The rose in your garden in beautiful. I think roses with a few drops of water on them are even prettier. Me and my daughters also have a blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. It's nice to meet new friends. I heard Portland, Oregon was very pretty. I hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.

About Me

Many things bring great delight to me: tea, gardens, flowers, outdoors, food, and friends that cross my path. These all make my heart sing with small chuckles, giggles, laughter, and tears. It is my desire to seek beauty all around me, have the heart of a gypsy, a storyteller.
